How Very High Triglycerides Affect Your Health

Triglycerides can build up on the walls of certain blood vessels, called arteries. This build-up can make them narrow. Narrowed arteries slow or block blood flow to the heart. Blood brings needed oxygen to the heart. High triglycerides can lead to hardening of your arteries. They can also lead to thickening of your artery walls. This can raise your risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart disease. It can also lead to pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas.*

Some people might be at greater risk for very high triglycerides because they have other serious health problems like:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Obesity
• Type 2 diabetes

You can lower your triglycerides. A healthy diet and medication can help.

You might have very high triglycerides and not even know it. Assess your risk. Share the results with your doctor. Find out your triglyceride number and how you can lower it.
